So do you have any antibiotics for Ducks on hand you can use Baytril or amoxicillin there are others and you still may be able to get them online from some pet stores
Let me know we will help you with information about dosage, depending on how much your duck weighs

I’m going to read to you from one of my books

A prolapsed penis is very rarely fatal provided it’s properly attended to bacterial infections are the usual culprits and a round of anti-antibiotics and anti-inflammatory/pain medicine for 7 to 14 days will often do the trick provided your Drake has ample access to swimming water (especially clean tap water)
And is given a break from mating by separating him from any females.
A topical antibiotic ointment like bacitracin plus can also be applied to the protruding penis and external vent one – two times daily to keep the area moist and help stave off infection.
If an additional antibiotic is not needed, Vaseline petroleum jelly can be substituted to aid in moisture retention.
The more time your boy spends floating in clean tapwater, the more likely he is to recover quickly so keep his kiddy pool as fresh as you can, and encourage him to swim as often as possible. To help prevent infection you will also want to keep his pen and house as tidy as possible during his recovery, so remember to actively remove any piling fecal matter and lay down fresh bedding frequently, especially in his favorite resting spots, where he will be spending a lot of time
If attended to immediately, a prolapsed penis will usually retreat back into your Drake’s body without a few days and without any further hangups, but there are instances where it won’t.
The longer your Drake’s penis remains outside of his body. The less likely it is to make a permanent retreat and the more prone it is to infection if it doesn’t respond to continued medication or if it worsens, you need to get him to the vet for an immediate partial penectomy.

thank you so much i’ve encouraged him to be in his kiddy pool and he’s been doing a LOT better i cant thank you enough for this! he’s back to his old self and is back to being social with his siblings i made sure to clean his house and cleaned his pool as-well and he’s better now thank you so much for this i am most likely going to get an ointment just to keep handy but again thank you so much!

Ok for antibiotic ointment like neosporin- just don’t use the kind that has “pain relief” added .

@Luv Ducks I forget was it you or someone elsewho had to deal with this problem last year?

My little Call Duck a couple of years ago had his penis sticking out and it was like a quarter size ball that was greenish that could not retract. My daughter-in-law noticed it as they are so close to the ground and he was acting perfectly normal. I read up on it and saw where the infection from it could kill him if it was not . I sterilized a very sharp pair of scissors and decided to snip off all of the infected part. I then sprayed his bottom with ivermectin and put him back with everyone else. He has been perfectly fine and still chases my females and can mate with them. If it looks perfectly normal I have heard that you can put a hemorrhoid medication on it and tuck it back in, If not, it is best to remove it is what I read. It saved mines life. Good luck with yours.

Sorry, I have not been on here much lately, busy in the duck pen. I am glad that yours is doing much better. I just now saw your post.
